Chaser Zaks Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Linden Lab has a article here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alt_account_policies A basic summary is, as long as you are not creating a army(No more than 5 and no more than one per 24 hours) and the alts are all in good standing, go for it!

LittleMe Jewell Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Though quite a few of us have more than 5. It is more a matter of what you do with them and how quickly you create them. Oh, and if they are Premium or not probably plays into it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Meriman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It's something the Lab seem to want to work with people on. However, the lab are fickle at best especially if they are having a grumpy day. As well as deleting your alt, or main account, they have the option to charge people $9.95 (I believe) for each alt if you exceed 5, but as long as you are not trying to game the system, crash regions, or be a bad person they seem to let it slide. I also think being PIOF on them helps, maybe a premium or two. They are likely more wary about someone quickly making a large number of alts that they can't tie to a financial identity.

Phil Deakins Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) The LL page that Chaser linked to states that "Your first basic account is free, and so are a few alternate accounts. However, if you create an army of alts, Linden Lab may charge a small fee of US$9.95 for the creation of each additional basic account as a way to recoup some of the cost." So you can officially have an army of alts, as I have. Under the Restrictions heading it also states: Currently, you can create: Up to five accounts per household. No more than two accounts in a single 24-hour period. It used to be 1 per 24 hours but that appears to have changed. The two statements don't agree. The first says that you can have an army of alts, and the second says that you can have no more than 5 accounts per household. LL aren't exactly brilliant at writing their policies are they Edited January 17, 2018 by Phil Deakins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, all the alts I have have premium sub for land ownership purpose so that might play part into it Edited January 17, 2018 by iamyourneighbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've been considering premiumising a few more for that very purpose - land. It reduces the cost of tier enormously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover Jinx Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I've often joked about making alts with names that start with 0 through 9 so I could flip some stubborn lucky boards, but I haven't...yet. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who, back in 2007/2008, created an alt for every letter and every number specifically for lucky boards. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candice LittleBoots Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 There's a certain store which regularly gives away L$200 giftcards, perhaps twice per month. When using their giftcard you can choose to 'gift' an item to someone else. There's barely anything left in that store that I actually want anymore, including colour combinations. It's becoming a real struggle to spend. If you're wondering what this has to do with this thread, just read the thread title again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Luminos Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I went premium on three of my accounts; two of them were made in 2006 so they get the grandfathered L$500 per week stipend and they actually make profit being premium. I rob them blind every month to pay my rent. Edited January 24, 2018 by Lewis Luminos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tako Absent Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 What about alts here in SL forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 SL wikis are notoriously incorrect. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page linked to you will see that it hasn't been updated in almost six years. So unless it is in the TOS (I did a quick search and came up with nothing) or in some of the supporting documents that go along with the TOS (didn't see a likely category there either) no one really knows what the current official policy is. If you want to go with the six year old answer then it is five per household -- which really makes no sense as a bunch of college kids living together would max that out with regular accounts LOL. . You can see by the comments here that lots of folks have "armies of alts" which no one seems to care about as long as they don't make any trouble. One person wrote here on the forums awhile back that they had enough alts to pay for a 4096(minus the $1 US ish that it costs for the difference now) so that must be eight if I am not too sleepy. So the answer is: A. Five or B. as many as you want if you play nice. You can take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too sleepy or not, that's correct Eight 300L/wk stipend premium accounts can have 4k of mainland at a nett cost of approximately $5.72 per month, which is only a little more than an extra 512m for one premium account.

Bobbie Faulds Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 5 per email address. When I was doing lucky boards/chairs I made one for each letter and one number because at the time it was any number, not a specific one. I use them now to do those last few slots in a Midnight Mania board, NPC's in the sim I role-play in and am an admin and 5 are models in my store. As long as you behave, the don't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Solo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) 2 alts as fashion models, (hardly used anymore) is enough drama for me lol Both have the system last name of Solo though. Took 6 months to do that! 8^) Edited January 24, 2018 by Maryanne Solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of one person who has posted on these forums with at least 10 different accounts. Naming them is a clear TOS violation but posting with 10 alts is not.
